As usual a great article Charles.
Bravo Charles! Well said. The old guard is appreciated for getting us where we are today. Now it is time to step aside and allow the new guard to march forward.

I was prepared to hate this show and approached it sleepy eyed and with much apprehension. However, much to my surprise I can't stop watching! The show is well cast with good performances but it is the one liners from Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) that keep me coming back! Pure entertainment!
You ask what can we do to stop targeted racial violence? I say that we need to vote. Vote in local and regional leaders that appoint police chiefs. Leaders that are sensitive to the needs of communities of color and will ensure police leadership will be held accountable for their's and the actions of their employees.
